Nonlinear Dynamics of Optical Injected VCSELs Subject to Optoelectronic Feedback
Based on the Spin-flip Model, the nonlinear dynamical characteristics of a 1 550 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser subject to orthogonally polarized beams injection and negative optoelectronic feedback was investigated. The results show that, for a free-running 1 550 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser lasing at the Y linear polarization mode, under suitable injection strength and frequency detuning, 1 550 nm orthogonally polarized optical injected vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser can exhibit many nonlinear dynamic behaviors such as Stable State, Period-one, Period-two, Multi-period, Chaos, Stable Injection Locking and Polarization Switching phenomena. Then, after introducing the negative optoelectronic feedback, some new nonlinear dynamic behaviors, such as Double Frequency Quasi-periodic Oscillation, Triple Frequency Quasi-periodic Oscillation, can be observed. For a certain feedback delay, the dynamic distribution regions of the orthogonally polarized optical injected vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser outputs in the parameter space of injection strength and frequency detuning will be influenced by the optoelectronic feedback strength. Under certain optoelectronic feedback strength, for relatively small injection strength, the feedback delay has an obvious effect on the dynamic distribution regions in the parameter space of injection strength and frequency detuning. For relatively larger injection strength, the delay time has little effect on the dynamic distribution regions and the laser almost operates at Period-one or Stable Injection Locking state.
